Rating: Summary: Absolutely ridiculous Review: Every single one of the exercises can be done without the ball. This title is just an excuse to add to the Dummies range and man they must be desperate. The exercises are just everyday exercises but they somehow found a way to include the ball. Sometimes the ball is just rolled by your hand while doing an exercise. Absolutely ridiculous. I suggest buying a TamiLee Tighter Assets title.
Rating: Summary: Not challenging enough Review: I exercise frequently (but not in the best of shape) and bought this DVD in the hope of toning up some more. I learned some fitness ball exercises from one of the fitness trainers at the local YMCA and found those to be quite challenging. I was hoping to find more challenging moves on this DVD, but I was disappointed. I found the exercises to be too easy and did not feel any soreness at all the next day.
Rating: Summary: Good work-out & pleasant personality Review: I get a good work-out from this video, even though it is fairly lack-luster. Very unintimidating. Working out with the ball really does spice up your exercise if you find yourself getting bored!
Rating: Summary: I love love love this workout Review: I workout 5 to 6 days a week and am in pretty good shape. I have acclamated this workout into my schedule because it is both fun and effective. It seems easy but when you really manage to master the moves correctly you can certainly feel that it's working. I actually noticed a difference in my waist within the first week or two! The workout itself is actually really fun and I love how I feel after doing the workout. My limbs feel like spaghetti and the next day I can certainly tell my muscles have been worked both hard and properly. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who is interested in geting started with the stability ball. I'm buying a copy right now for my sister!
Rating: Summary: I love love love this workout Review: This is a must have for part of any workout routine. The DVD starts off with bascis such as choosing the right ball size, proper form etc. The workout consists of 15 workouts that challenge every muscle in your body especially your core. It's best to watch it first before doing it so that you can become familiar with the routine but the workouts are very easy to follow and the instructor (Liz) gives clear, detailed instructions. Liz takes you through 2 sets of each exercise so you will definitely feel the burn but most important is to make sure that you select the right ball size and that it is inflated properly because at first mine would sink in a bit when I sat on it but I looked at the instructor's ball and noticed how hers looked when she sat on it. One should never worry about bursting the ball when they sit on it because it can withstand over 300 lbs. (but once again inflate it properly) A set of hand weights are needed for a portion of the workout (for arm & chest exercises) along with a yoga mat to place your ball on. Do give this DVD a try though because it is worth it!

Rating: Summary: Good Workout, Lots of Fun Review: This workout is fun and easy to do. But, if you haven't worked out on a stability ball and you do the entire workout, you will be sore in your core the next day! I have knee problems and I had to fast forward through a few exercises but overall very good.
